Is D’Angelo Russell playing tonight against the Warriors? Latest on Lakers guard’s availability for NBA Christmas Day clash - Source: Imagn
The LA Lakers could be without point guard D’Angelo Russell since he is listed as questionable for their marquee Christmas Day clash against the Golden State Warriors. Russell is nursing a sprained left thumb, making his status day-to-day in the next few games for the Lakers.
Russell picked up the injury in the Lakers’ loss against the Detroit Pistons on Monday. He exited the game in the fourth quarter and never returned as Gabe Vincent took over his point guard duties.
The Lakers’ injury report also has other big names such as Anthony Davis and LeBron James, listed as questionable. Jarred Vanderbilt, Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood and Jalen Hood-Schifino are listed out.
Russell averages 12.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game this season. His career-low scoring average caused him to lose his starting job to Vincent late in November.
